Remove Auto Page Break

1.replace auto page breaks with section breaks

I have created a huge (20+MB) baseline document with automatic page breaks. I 
now need to convert all those automatic page breaks to next-page section 
breaks so that I can edit each page independent of the rest of the pages. 
That is, if I need to add text to page 120 in the middle of the doc, I can't 
let the text roll on page 121 - those pages need to be kept unchanged. (If 
the additional text rolls onto a new page, it will be numbered something like 
120a, 120b, etc.)

Is there an automatic way to do that? Find/Replace doesn't look promising. I 
hope somebody already has a macro out there to do this sort of thing ...

2.page breaks auto-inserted and pages renumbered when going to print

Word 2003, SP2. 

This doc is 105 pgs. There are 16 pages of front matter that are numbered in 
lowercase roman numerals, and then pages 1-88 (all pages use same layout; no 
left/right). There are 8 tables, 38 figures (some inserted files, some Word 
art, some both), a TOC, a list of figures and list of tables, and an index. 
There are a lot of reference fields and manually inserted breaks.

When sent to print to make a PDF (both Adobe PDF and PS printer drivers were 
tried), the front matter numbering mysteriously changes to be all page 19, 
and breaks (both section and page) are inserted before some reference fields, 
 ruining pagination (from 1-88 to 1-94). 

I've tried working only in Normal view with background pagination turned 
off, but as soon as Print is selected, the view changes to Print view, the 
breaks inserted (in exactly the same positions every time), and the "iii" 
pages turned to "19"s. 

Often printing these docs (oh, there's more than one doc based on the same 
file) also hangs Word.

I'll soon be moving these docs to a master doc set up, and modularizing the 
content for better single-sourcing and outputting to HTML, but in the 
meantime, I need to release at least one PDF.

help, while I still have hair!

3.page breaks auto-inserted and pages renumbered when going to p

Thanks for the info, Stefan. It made a big difference, but did not fix 
everything.

As instructed:
 
o  I deleted the manual page breaks, substituting the use of the page break 
before/keep with next paragraph format options.
 
o  I updated the references, and this seemed to fix the problem with Word 
inserting breaks immediately preceding a reference field (it would literally 
place it after the word and space, "see " used in the reference phrase, as in 
"See <Heading reference> on page xx"). Note however, that these paragraphs 
did NOT have manual page breaks associated with them (neither before nor 
after the paragraph). AND with one reference it made no difference (see 
below).

o  I F9'ed selected text in the doc to update the references.

The doc looked clean. 

When printing to PDF, I found that only one reference had a break inserted 
(over and over, using different print drivers), and that was in the front 
matter. Also, the 16 front matter pages were still being renumbered to all be 
page 19. 

I removed the offending reference, opting instead to type it in (who needs a 
link?), and changed the section page numbering to start on page ii, instead 
of continuing from the previous section (which was the title page).

This workaround stopped the pages from being renumbered. However, there are 
no longer any links for any references, the TOC, or lists (figures & tables). 

I checked the conversion settings, bookmark and link options, which *were* 
enabled, and tried printing to PDF again. I tried using the Adobe PDF print 
driver, and a PS print driver, and then using Distiller to convert to PDF. In 
both cases, the TOC and references were not in the PDFs.

I can go with what I have, but have always thought it unprofessional to have 
items that should be links, but are not (e.g., the TOC). It might have to 
suffice if there is no resolution presented (I tried to find broken links in 
PDFs as a discussion subject, to no avail).

I'll look for further posts. Thank you again, Stefan.

4.Auto-Numbered lists Page break?

I am using a  Word 97-'03 template in Word'07 and have found something 
baffling; when I start a numbered list the number appears on the next page 
but the cursor remain on the first page, indented and tabbed like a normal 
number list.  This has never happened before with my previous use of the 
template  It may be my still-relative unfamiliarity with Word '07 but I do 
know how to fix this. Please help. 

5.Auto Page Break

Word no longer automatically inserts a page break as it always has when
you reach the bottom of a page.  Any idea how to resolve?
